Successful Personal Injury Claims

Below, you will find just a small selection of some of the personal injury compensation claims Richard has dealt with in the Wolverhampton office.

Accident at Work results in Leg Amputation

Richard's client in this case was a man injured in an accident at work.  The man was working on a farm at the time of the accident and was walking on part of the farm premises when a 2.5 ton counter balance fell from a forklift truck and landed on his leg.

The man's leg was crushed and although he underwent emergency surgery to try and save it, the damage was too bad and his leg was amputated below the knee.

This case required the skill of an experienced solicitor as the compensation needed to reflect the fact that the man would need ongoing medical care and adaptations to his home for the rest of his life as well as suffering lost earnings. 

Richard was successful in recovering £360,000 personal injury compensation for his client who was very happy with the service provided.

Slip at Work

In this case, Richard's client was a caretaker who was injured whilst at work in a school.  The man was walking through the dining hall when he slipped on a spillage on the floor and fell, breaking his ankle.

The floor in the dining hall was not made of a non-slip material and was known to be slippery and dangerous when wet.  Richard made a claim for the injured caretaker and he was awarded several thousand pounds compensation.

Tripped at Work

Richard's client in this case was a man who was injured at work in a warehouse.  He was collecting an item which weighed in the region of 55kg from the top of a stack of other objects.

When he eventually reached the item he needed, he started moving backwards out of the area and tripped on a box which had been left in the gangway, injuring himself.

The man's employers refused to settle this claim and Richard had to issue court proceedings.  The Judge decided in favour of the injured man and awarded him compensation as his employers were in breach of two separate regulations for allowing him to lift such a heavy object alone and also for allowing the gangway to become obstructed.
